Engineering plastic energy chains are suitable for various machine tools such as CNC machine tools, machining centers, automated machinery and production lines, robots,transportation machinery, measuring instruments, handling devices, and other drive controls as protective devices for electric wires, cable fluids, and air hoses. They can run in coordination with the moving parts of machine tools andmechanical equipment, and play the role of safety protection and guidance. They can extend the service life of protected electric wires, cables, fluids, and air hoses, reduce consumption, and have a good improvement effect on the
Classification of Energy Chains
According to the material classification, engineering Energy Chain can be divided into plastic engineering chains and steel engineering chains. According to the structure classification,they can be classified into bridge-type engineering chains and fully enclosed engineering chains. The internal height of engineering plastic chains ranges from 10 to 80 (mm), and the width ranges from 10 to 350 (mm). Generally, it is determined according to the size and quantity of the cables that users want to protect.
The strength of energy chains mainly depends on the nylon content contained in the raw materials. According to the differences in usage strength, engineering plastic chains can be further divided into ordinary engineering plastic chains and reinforced engineering plastic Energy Chain. In relatively harsh operating environments, fully enclosed engineering plastic Energy Chain are generally chosen.
Characteristics of Energy Chains
1. Beautiful and simple appearance, light weight, and the length can be arbitrarily adjusted according to usage requirements.
2. Suitable for reciprocating motion occasions, and can play a traction and protection role for built - in cables, oil pipes, gas pipes, water pipes, etc.
3. Each section of the chain can be opened, which is convenient for installation and maintenance
4. When the chain is in motion, it generates low noise, has good wear resistance and can also be used for high-speed movements.
The Structure of the Energy Chains
It can be clearly seen that the appearance of the energy chain is very similar to that of a tank. lt is composed of numerous unit links, and the links can rotate freely. For different series of energy chains,the inner height, outer height and pitch are the same, while the inner height and the bending radius r of the chain can have different options. The unit link is composed of left and right chain plates and an upper cover plate. Each section can be opened, which is convenient for loading and unloading. There is no need to thread cables. Just open the cover plate and the cables, oil pipes, air pipes,etc. can be placed inside the Energy Chain.
